She sighs and nods. "Den do sumtin abowt it... " she says firmly and walks away once more, leaving him with a lot to think about.

Luciel comes up out of the water and carries the catfish over to where she stand, staring at her in wonder. "Wow." he whispers in admiration. "How did ye get him to do that?" he asks dropping the fish down in front of her.
She shrugs, eying the fish hungrily. "I towd hiwm da thuwth..." she replies poking at the fish. "Dat a biwg one..."
Meanwhile Kero is finding all sorts of interesting things to examine on the rock, so much so that when Luna tells him his time is up, he waves her away and continues to explore it's surface.

*To Luna's amazement...an incredulity, Kero is licking the rock in enjoyment...when Luciel comes over...he takes a lick too...and gently breaks a small, inconspicuous piece off for both Kero and himself...the stone is quartz...but mixed inside it is a hint of gold and silver, which gives the stone the sweet/spicy taste of electrum, but not as overpowering as the metal itself...it is muted by the blandness of the Quartz...*

*Kero decides to taste the fish...and Luciel stops him*
Let me cook it first, guys...yes, it's dead...I made sure of that...WHOA...
*The fish has started to move again...flopping back and forth...Luciel pulls Kero and the others behind him*
You got me fair and square, young one...whatever the hell you are...

Luciel swallows hard. "I... I killed ye, didn't I?"
"It tawk... Daddy say no eat tings dat tawk.." moans Luna looking at the enormous fish, torn between her stomach and Kerobian's instructions.

*The fish slowly shakes it's head*
No, child...you have not killed me...I still live...and if you return me to the water, I will live much longer...I was asked to come here...offered good, plaentiful food, and shelter from predators...in return, I had to school a young...dra-gon...in the ways of the natural world...and help her learn how to catch my smaller brethren that live in the waters of this fine swamp...
**No better tutor for a swamp dweller than a catfish, after all**
